Power View, a feature of SQL Server 2012 Reporting Services Add-in for Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010 Enterprise Edition, is an interactive data exploration, visualization, and presentation experience. It provides intuitive ad-hoc reporting for business users such as data analysts, business decision makers, and information workers. Microsoft has recently released very interesting whitepaper which covers a sample scenario that validates the connectivity of the Power View reports to both PowerPivot workbooks and tabular models. This white paper talks about following important concepts about Power View:

Understanding the hardware and software requirements and their download locations

Installing and configuring the required infrastructure when Power View and its data models are on the same computer and on different computer

Installing and configuring a computer used for client access to Power View reports, models, Sharepoint 2012 and Power View in a workgroup

Configuring single sign-on access for double-hop scenarios with and without Kerberos

This whitepaper talks about many interesting scenarios. It would be really interesting to know if you are using Power View in your production environment. If yes, would you please share your experience over here.
